Hello.. I started having panic attacks a little more than a year ago. I found DS and can honestly say it helps. Everyone here is helpful and real nice. Most of the people here have been dealing with these things for longer than me, so they have some good advice as well.

Hello- It’s good to hear from you, welcome to the forum!
Glad to hear that you are doing well today, I pray that you will stay strong.

Please stay in the forum. I hope you will be encouraged and get the support you need. Take care, God bless.

I'm proud of you for getting enough motivation to get up and do some stuff. I know some days its impossible. If you ever need a listening ear, I'm here.

Thank you! Yeah, sometimes even just brushing my hair or eating breakfast can be exhausting.

i hear you, there are days when i need my wife to help me make food because i cant even gather the will power to lift my arms and get myself some bread, peanut butter and the jelly. or the milk and cereal. it feels like your body just wont listen and your thoughts are just negative as hell " really you cant even grab the bread..your lazy and worthless.." blah blah blah ,and the negativity just keeps nagging. ive battled depression my WHOLE life. some days EVERYTHING is just out to make you sad. then there are those GREAT days that are so amazing you dont want them to stop and then one small little something just sets you off again...its hard. but let me tell you, so long as you surround yourself with loved ones and i mean people that really care about you (not the fake toxic people that call themselves friends)you will find the will to keep going you will find that you arnt as depressed as before and that you can get over this episode. I'm a stay at home dad in a small apartment. if i can somehow find the will to do what is needed you can too, you just have to not allow yourself that negative nagging in the back of your mind "i cant do that" im not good enough" i suck"... start fighting back tell it you are worth it. tell it you CAN AND WILL do it. just accept that things will suck and get harder and you CAN do anything, you just have to set your mind to it(sry guess i went on a rant,my bad.)

I'm so sorry you're feeling depressed. I know it's got to be an awful burden. I'm glad that you're pushing yourself forward, going out in public and getting errands done. Good for you!!
Is there something specific that you are aware of that makes you feel this way? Are you ever able to detect what brings your depression on?
Have you had your thyroid tested? Hypo-thyroidism can cause a tendency toward sadness and depression.
I will pray for you and ask God to help you. <3
